Department Approval <br />� <br />Item Description <br />BACKGROUND <br />g�� <br />� <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 4/12/10 <br />Item No.: 7.i <br />City Manager Approval <br />Approve Easement Release to the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />On June 29, 2009, the City Council approved an agreement with the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation regarding the elimination of the lift station located along the east right-of-way of Trunk <br />Highway 280 (TH280) and construction of a new gravity line into the City of Lauderdale. This work <br />was completed last fall. One of the conditions of the agreement was that the City release or "quit claim" <br />our interests in the lift station easement. Attached is a copy of the Quit Claim document. <br />POLICY �BJECTIVE <br />A new gravity sewer line was constructed on the west side of TH280 that serves the Paper Calmenson <br />site. The lift station was demolished last fall. As a result, the City no longer has a use for the existing <br />easement. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />The release of the easement was a condition of the utility agreement approved last year. MnDOT, <br />through the agreement, has committed to pay all of the construction costs for the new sanitary sewer line <br />to Lauderdale's sewer system. The City of Roseville will incur the cost for connection charges to <br />Lauderdale. The city will also incur maintenance costs for our new line and a share of the Lauderdale <br />line. The connection charge and the maintenance costs will be funded from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of the quit claim deed for the release of the sanitary sewer lift station <br />easement. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approval of the Quit Claim Deed Easement with MnDot <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom, City Engineer <br />Attachments: A.
